Gypsy, Tsigan, Gitane, Cygane, Zigeuner, the Roma people have wandered the
world for a thousand years—their mysterious origins a source of fascination as

Tsigan: The Gypsy Poem is an acclaimed book-length poetic sequence written by
Cecilia Woloch. It intertwines her personal journey of identity with the

edition was published this spring by Scribe-l'Harmattan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a half hour’s drive north of central Atlanta. Generative exercises will focus
on infusing our poems with rich sound and rhythm, weaving the narrative impulse

celebrate. If you have books or chapbooks to sell or exchange, be sure to bring

<b><span style="color: red;">JUST ADDED</span> "When the bough breaks…" - A Poetry Workshop with Brendan Constantine</b><br />
Perhaps one of our oldest lyric traditions is the Lullaby. Every culture has its own examples and many of the world's celebrated poets have written them. So why does this enduring form almost never appear in standard guides to poetics? What makes a lullaby and why is it so hard to define? Los Angeles poet, Brendan Constantine, offers a generative writing workshop on the poetry of sleep. The workshop will be held at the Decatur Library Auditorium at 6 p.m. before Brendan's reading with Julie. Everyone is invited!<br />
<br />
Join Poetry Atlanta and Georgia Center for the Book on Wednesday, June 18, at 7:15 p.m. for a special reading by Brendan Constantine and Julie E. Bloemeke.
